"Do you think he owes the Queen too much?" Pei Ji asked in a low voice.

Shen Que paused as he turned the page, his tone becoming a little colder: "This is the truth."

Pei Ji sighed.

That person's departure really left too many scars on this family.

"Has the Queen never thought of announcing your identity?" Pei Ji asked, gently lifting Chen Que's hair.

Shen Que was silent for a while: "She asked me."

If Lu Ya really finds a way to take Shen Lu away from the Sea of ​​Life, Shen's true identity will be revealed to the public sooner or later.

But now the imperial court is under great pressure from public opinion. The people who have forgotten Chen Lu only remember that he is the sinner who brought disaster to the empire and are unwilling to accept the old emperor who has been exiled for many years.

As the leader of the research, Her Royal Highness took on almost everything.

"Revealing my identity now can reduce An's pressure, and the people of the star will hate Shen Lu less because of my achievements, but neither An nor His Majesty is willing to do this." Shen Que's voice was calm.

Ann wrote directly to Carolina asking her not to have any definite ideas, and Carolina also said frankly that she did not want those rumors to affect her second child.

Pei Ji: "To be frank, your sister is becoming more and more like an heir."

He changed the subject: "If only your father had done more for the empire. It seems that everyone's dissatisfaction with him is mainly because he was exiled without being of any use. Saving you is a great contribution, and..."

Pei Ji paused.

"Actually, I can testify and publicize the fact that he helped repair the space-time turbulence. Even though I don't have any substantial evidence, my credibility should still be okay, right?"

All recording instruments in the Sea of ​​Life will become useless. Even the "Eclipse Sky" optical computer cannot withstand the signal interference of time and space.

The research team that followed Shen Que could only prove that Pei Ji came out of the sea of ​​life with scars all over his body, but no one saw Shen Lu.

Carolina asked Pei Ji what exactly happened, but asked him to keep his mouth shut and attributed all the credit to him.

[This is what the empire owes you.] Her Majesty the Queen said this to Pei Ji.

"Actually, being liked is pretty tiring. Everywhere I go, people ask for my autograph. It's no better than being scolded everywhere I go... Hey! Don't pinch my face, darling!"

Shen Que grabbed Pei Ji's face and asked, "Who did you sign for?"

"No, no! I'm very cool! How can I give away the young lord's signature casually? Others might use it to commit crimes!"

Shen Que let go and hummed in satisfaction.

"You don't have to worry about Chen Lu's affairs."

He continued to flip through the book in his hand.

"The most important thing right now is to get the auction item as soon as possible. If it is truly related to the royal family, it must not be displayed at the auction."

Pei Ji raised his lips when he heard this: "Then you must praise me well."

Shen Que raised his eyebrows, waiting to hear what he had to say.

Pei Ji: "Although I didn't ask what the hidden item was, I found out it's in the safe room below the spa on the right wing of the Golden Butterfly. It has three layers of protective doors, each guarded by eight people, and the spa closes at midnight."

Pei Ji said this and looked at the time.

Just at this moment, the doorbell rang.

Pei Ji's smile deepened.

"The new dress I ordered for you has arrived. How is it? Do you want to go on a date with me to the spa... violent sweetheart?"
